Now is the winter of our discontent

During this Covid crisis for which an end doesn't seem coming anytime soon, I do what public health experts advise. 


But then I am not a nutcase Republican anyway!  Wait, in the tRump era, I suppose "nutcase Republican" is one too many words to mean the same thing--nutcase alone would suffice because a Republican who is not a nutcase is a rare find!

Why these nutcases make a political issue out of wearing masks is simply beyond me.  Maybe I need to be a stable genius to figure that out!

Take a look at the photo below:


The caption at the source is simply this: "Clerks in New York City wore masks during the 1918 flu pandemic."

Yet, there are millions who refuse to wear masks?

For rule followers like me, what else can we do as the cooler and virus-friendly season sets in?

You can reduce the risk by using air filters where they’re available, finding ways to bring in more outside air, and simply not spending time in confined spaces with people who might be infectious—which is to say, pretty much anyone outside your own household.

Done!

There is one more thing we need to do, which the public heath experts do not talk about: Defeat the science-denying tRump and his toadies, and elect leaders who will base public policies on science and evidence.
